..but I really need to talk about the Golden Gate Bridge for a minute.

So.. The Golden Gate Bridge:

HOW the fuck does this work?? It’s sooo long (that’s what she said) and just…. Look at the middle of it! What is supporting this thing? Those little bars at the top? That makes no sense. I think a certain amount of space on each side is safe, based on how a diving board works…

But I really do not understand the middle of this bridge. Someone needs to fix it.

You're welcome, San Francisco.

It really, really concerns me that you don't know how suspension bridges work.
